We have categorized our projects using two dimensions
Projects are categorized across ten different themes… … and across five different impact types
Greenfield infra–
newly built
infrastructure asset
Enterprise–
enterprise (often
start-up or scale-up)
with a climate
solution
Brownfield infra–
existing
infrastructure
assets
Transport– sustainable
transportation
infrastructure
and vehicles (e.g.
electric motorbikes)
Agriculture– green
and resilient
agriculture
production methods
and input systems
Digital– digital
infrastructure and
systems enabling
climate transition
Water– security of
water supply and
protection against
floods
Blue Economy–
sustainable use of
ocean resources for
economic growth
and livelihood
Energy– energy
production (e.g.
wind, solar, hydro)
and transmission
(cable, hydrogen)
Carbon Credits-
restoration of nature
using carbon credits
financing
Industry– transition
towards a net zero
industry
Cities– adaptation
and resilience of
human settlements
Land– restoration of
degraded land
Program– program
ran by an
organization to
obtain a certain
objective
Fund– fund run by
an investor that
bundles capital and
invests into specific
type of solutions

Regenerate 30
Regenerate 30 is a farmer and business centered initiative that will deliver
impact by scaling proven, locally owned and nature-based solutions. It will
test new innovations and scale what works across four key areas: Agriculture
(Farmers Regenerate), Blue Economy (Blue Business), Micro and small
entrepreneurs (Regeneration Factory), Food processing (Food for the Future)
By 2030, the initiative will result in: 30% average
income increase for small-scale farmers and
businesses, 30 million tons of CO2e cut, 30 million
acres of land sustainably managed, protected or
restored, 30 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa,
Latin America and India benefitting, $300 million in

150MW regional solar power park in Mali
1. Estimated using Avoided Emissions Calculator of IRENA
The West African Power Pool (WAPP) aims to create a unified ECOWAS power
market and exchange among members. To this effect, it is developing a
solar PV power plant with a storage facility in Mali with capacity of 150 MW
which will help Mali and other ECOWAS countries increase their supply and
use of renewable energy
The expected production of renewable energy is
498 GWh per year, which will help to decrease the
power supply deficit in the region and increase the
component of renewable energy in the regional
energy mix with 24t CO2e avoided1

BasiGo Bus Electrification in Kenya
50 tonnes CO2

BasiGo is proving a scalable financing model for electrifying the bus
transport in East Africa. Buses are the most common mode of transportation
in Africa and the largest source of toxic air pollution choking Africa's cities.
Meanwhile, over 90% of Kenya's electricity already comes from renewable
energy. BasiGo's Pay-As-You-Drive battery financing model makes the upfront
cost of a modern electric bus the same as a diesel bus while also offering a
25% operational cost savings.
Type of funds required: venture
debt
Impact:
• Air pollution from diesel buses will be eliminated
• Energy for public transport will transition from
imported diesel to domestically produced renewable
electricity
• Excess off-peak electricity from the grid will be

Green Ammonia Production
The projects aims to lead to the transition of the nitrogen fertilizer industry
to net zero CO2 emissions by 2050. Ammonia is the critical ingredient in all
mineral nitrogen fertilizers. Using green hydrogen as fuel, itself produced by
electrolysis powered by solar energy with integrated battery storage system,
makes a major contribution to reducing CO2 emissions from fertilizer
manufacture while significantly reducing energy intensity.
Green ammonia production would enhance food
security and have uses in diverse energy vectors for
global shipping, aviation and other high CO2 emitting
energy users.

recycled chemicals like biomethanol and recycled methanol from mixed
waste. Feedstock include waste oils & fats, straw, mixed municipal waste,
kitchen wastes, vegetable oils & corn. European biofuels produced from
domestic raw materials in a strictly sustainable manner achieve emission
savings between 70%–90% compared to fossil fuels. Recycled biochemicals
prevent use of virgin fossil raw materials (oil).

Electric Heating of Small- and Medium-Sized Cities
Project source: Remko sp. Zoo
This Ukrainian-based 300 kW auxiliary electricity project constructs small
electric modular boiler houses with the laying of new and modern heating
lines directly near the consumer using private funding. The project involves
the installation and connection to the power grid of 8 storage units with a
total capacity of 8 MW. Also, the pilot project consists of the production,
construction and installation of 13 modular e/boilers. Thus, leading to the
complete substitution of natural gas for heating.
The Pilot Project is envisaged in Novomoskovsk,
Dnepropetrovsk region, for:
• 22 apartment buildings (9 and 11 floors), approximately
5,000 inhabitants
• 3 municipal facilities (hospital, gymnasium, building
/office of labour and social protection department of
Novomoskovsk).
• The project will make it possible to virtually eliminate
heat losses in heating mains (in the current, outdated
and worn-out state of the heating mains, 30 to 40% of
heat carrier losses occur).

ElevenEs Battery Plant
Serbian battery developer, ElevenEs, has developed technology to produce
lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries for electrical vehicles (EV) and energy
storage applications. ElevenEs along with investor EIT InnoEnergy will build
the first LFP battery gigafactory in Europe that will produce 300MWh per
year. After two years, production will expand to 8GWh, and to 16GWh after
2028. The factory will be based close to Serbia’s Jadar valley, home to one
of Europe’s largest deposits of lithium.
• LFP cells last more than twice as long as competing
chemistries, they can be recharged up to 6,000
times, charge faster, can be repeatedly charged to
100% state-of-charge and cause practically no fires
in EVs.
• Project will later be expanded to a capacity of 16
GWh–enough to equip more than 300,000 electric
vehicles (BEVs) with batteries each year.
• The factory will use 100% renewable energy

Meghri and Shnokh Hydro Power Plants
Meghri Hydro Power Plants (HPP), with an installed capacity of about 100MW
and an annual electricity generation of up to 800 million kWh will be
constructed on the Araks River.
Located in the Lori region, the Shnokh HPP will have an installed electric
capacity of 75 MW and annual electricity generation of 300 million kWh. It
will be able to cover ~5% of domestic energy consumption in Armenia.

Geothermal Exploratory Drilling Project
The project will undertake exploratory drilling to confirm whether the
geothermal resource at the Karkar field is suitable for power generation and,
if confirmed, build the first geothermal station in Armenia with a capacity of
25MW. Currently, work is underway to implement package solutions for
Geothermal projects in the country by attracting investors to the
Jermahbyur and Karkar areas.

Geothermal Power Plant
A 10MW Geothermal Binary Power Plant has been planned by the Georgian
Government that would disseminate the know-how and technology and
encourage the private and public sector to develop similar projects.
Preliminary analysis showed that Georgia has potential to launch 9 similar
projects. Presently, Georgia’s geothermal sector is under-developed.
Realization of its complete potential will allow savings up to 500,000 tons of
conventional fuel per year and reduce CO2e emission by 1.22 million tons.
